MAGICAL MANTI is a performative installation consisting of three large inflatable objects developed with an image-generating artificial intelligence - the prompts emerging from on-site research - and a swarm of objects floating in augmented reality. The objects are new, temporary inhabitants of the square who elude clear definitions; they suggest that everything is in flux, boundaries should be blurred, and they invite us to accept everyday contradictions, to embrace complexity and weirdness.
The work re-imagines a multicultural Berlin square as a place for queerness, utopia, and diverse lifestyles.
